ZEMAN, Přemysl
This bachelor's thesis focuses on experiences of foster parents with the contact of entrusted children with their biological relatives. It consists of a theoretical and a research part. The theoretical part is devoted to a description of the history of foster care in the Czech Republic, the arising and termination of foster care, types of foster care, rights and duties of foster parents, doses of foster care, foster Parents support and Contact with the biological family. In the practical part, qualitative research was conducted using semi-structured interviews in which the research sample was represented by 7 informants from among foster parents. The interviews were analysed using an open coding method and on this basis 7 categories were created, which were divided into 13 subcategories. The aim of the study was to describe foster parents experiences of their foster children's contact with their biological family, to find out how foster parents perceive the benefits of their foster children's contact with their biological family and how foster children prepare for this contact. The research shows that the law does not pay much attention to the feelings and perceptions of foster parents, it also found that foster children are closely attached to their foster families, it also found that uncooperative and pathological biological parent can be a source of problems in foster care. This thesis could be used to further research of foster care issues. It could also potentially be used as a source of information for interested social workers and lay people.
